Small as it is, the Thistle Chapel has a lot of lovely pieces as well as symbols of Scotland inside of it. Let me start by this super cute lamb holding an old Scottish flag. It looked like a lamb, but it could be a unicorn, the official animal of Scotland?
Outside at the entrance on the left, is this detailed stone carving showing everything Scotland and England about it.
I think about is the floor piece? Or maybe a wall piece, memorial of King George VI.
Royal Plaque. The animal on the left id definitely a unicorn! And on the right is a lion, of England.
A simple cross, but with it's 4 ends decorated with symbols of Christianity.
Somewhere on the top of a wall, could be made of wood, someone holding a spear, probably stabbing a dragon? Could be St George. But in my heart, I wanted it to be an angel holding a spear and stabbing something, lol. I don't know why.
Another wood piece at the wall, an angel holding the light for me :)
Stained glass inside the chapel.
And here are my attempts of photograhying those symbolic objects found high on these pedestal.
Not very sure if you can see anything, even when zooming in. I think some items might be ancient animals of Scotland....
Bugger, here is a link to read everything about this chapel! There is just so much details about it. Or alternately you could go to YouTube and watch a documentary about it.
